Stephen Grey (b. 1968 in Rotterdam, Netherlands) is a British journalist and author known for accusing the CIA of running a "gulag."

Career

Grey was educated at the British School of Brussels, St Alban's School, and Windsor Boys School, and then studied politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University.

In the summer of 2003, Grey began investigating reports of the CIA's secret system of extraordinary renditions (transfer of terror suspects to foreign jails, where many faced torture). On this topic, he contributed articles to the Sunday Times, several front page news articles to the New York Times about rendition and security issues, as well as to Newsweek, CBS 60 Minutes, Le Monde Diplomatique, and BBC Radio 4's 'File on Four'.

In 2005 he received the Amnesty International UK Media Award for best article in a periodical [cite web
